FT-897 don´t talk with my CQRLOG and Debian

Hi,
first of all I have to excuse - I´m totaly new in Linux-World and therefore I guess I mybe don´t get all the stuff I allready read in the forum regarding the connection between FT-897 and CQRLOG.
At the moment I start CQRLOG from the command line to see what is happend until startup. What I get is a "rig_open: error = IO error". I use a USB-SerialCAT interface which appears as "/dev/ttyUSB0" when I connect it to the PC. RIG IS 123... so what did I not see/configure correct?
I´m quite shure it´s a "PEBCAK" (ProblemExistsBetweenChairAndKeeboard) but I´m not able to finde a solution... sorry!

Start with making yourself

Start with making yourself part of the dialout
terminal
gksudo gedit /etc/group
look for dialout20 or something like that, add in you pc name, same as the rest of the entries, save, log out then back in, see if that helps...

Hi Tom,
many thanks for your answer. Sorry to say it did´t work. 
Here is the dump from the bash:
thomas@oromis:~$ gksudo /etc/group
 
(gksudo:32551): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_str_has_prefix: assertion `str != NULL' failed
thomas@oromis:~$

I tried out:
"usermod -a -G dailout thomas"
